Bruce Willis Wasn't Entirely Convincing

I liked the movie, overall, but I think BW was a bit too old or didn't physically train enough for this role. The scene in the warehouse when he fought off 3 assassins was thoroughly unconvincing. Which is a damn shame, because BW is one of the best action movie actors of all time, imho.

GIVEN WHAT WE NOW KNOW ABOUT BRUCE'S HEALTH...IT KIND OF MAKES SENSE...LOOPER WAS DURING THAT LAST BIT OF THE ACTUALLY WATCHABLE WILLIS FILMS...BEFORE THE EARPIECE/ILLNESS ERA.

Yes, maybe his health was already deteriorating at that time.
